16 The Blonde Woman's Gradual Change

Soon, two days passed.

The battle in the sky also gradually became a topic of conversation.

Of course, this matter would soon be forgotten.

After all, for Minghao City, which was full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons, a Pure Yang realm expert was nothing special.

However, another matter pushed Qin Chuan and his son to the forefront of the storm.

"Did you hear? Two days ago, the Chen family's third master, Chen Sheng, and an expert named Qin Chuan were fighting in the sky!"

"Why did they fight?"

"Hehe, according to the latest news, it seems that Qin Chuan's son, Qin Zi, knocked out the little princess of the Chen Family!"

"Hiss! So fierce? Doesn't Qin Zi know that this little princess is the apple of the eye of the Chen Family? It is said that even the city governor dotes on this niece of his."

"Perhaps this is called being young and frivolous. After all, those who are capable have their own pride."

"Capable?"

"You still don't know, right? Right now, the whole of Minghao City is talking about Qin Zi's peerless talent. He broke through to the Origin Core realm at the age of seventeen. In terms of talent, he's even better than the four great young masters of Minghao City!"

"What? So powerful?!"

"Could it be a rumor?"

"Heh, where did so many rumors come from? The truth is already here. Is it so hard to admit that someone else is outstanding?"

"Why do I feel like you're from the Rain Pavilion?"

"Don't talk nonsense!!"

"I still feel that you..."

"Brother, please step aside for a moment."

Such discussions appeared in every corner of Minghao City like a geometric fission, and they came with great momentum.

As the saying goes, 'Three men make a tiger'[1].

When many people said so, most of them believed it. Human-to-human transmission was even faster than the spread of the flu...

Therefore, Qin Zi became really famous.

As the saying goes, 'People fear getting famous, pigs fear getting fat'[2].

When Qin Zi himself heard this news, he was so angry that his face turned red, and he flew into a rage.

"Flattery! They're obviously trying to flatter me to death!"

He suddenly smashed his teacup and said through gritted teeth, "You're bragging that I'm the number one genius of Minghao City. Aren't you making enemies for me?"

"There are so many geniuses in Minghao City. Let's not talk about the others. Just the four great young masters of Minghao City, what will they think?"

He knew very well that when one was not worthy of the name, the higher one was praised, the more miserable the fall would be.

Because of his age, his current strength was still far from the four great young masters of Minghao City.

Although he had obtained a lot of opportunities and advanced by leaps and bounds with the help of his master during this period of time...

He still couldn't beat them!

The four great young masters of Minghao City were two to three years older than him. Moreover, they had received the full support of the big families since they were young. This kind of gap wasn't something that could be made up in a short period of time.

"I'm so angry! Who is spreading rumors to frame me? I curse that his son will have no butth*le!!"

Qin Zi clenched his fists and said.

"Cough Cough"

Qin Chuan, who was drinking tea at the side, choked a little.

This son of his was so cheap that he even scolded himself when he was angry.

"Calm down."

Qin Chuan pretended to be indifferent and said calmly, "How can you become a big shot if you fly into a rage just because of such a small matter?"

"I..."

Qin Zi came to his senses and immediately looked ashamed. He lowered his head and said, "Dad, I'm sorry. I was too emotional."

Then, he raised his head and gritted his teeth. "But, this..."

"Alright, don't think too much about these problems."

Qin Chuan put down his teacup and slowly stood up. He looked at him and said, "I believe in you. There won't be a problem."

"It's just the number one genius of Minghao City. So what if my son says he is number one? Let's not talk about the number one in Minghao City. Even if he's number one in the Nine Sun dynasty, what's wrong with that?!"

Hua!

As he spoke, a powerful aura burst forth.

"Father..."

Qin Zi looked at his father and was stunned. A warm current flowed through his heart.

He took a deep breath and clenched his fists. He nodded heavily and said, "Father, I understand! I won't let you down!"

"Since someone said that I'm the number one genius of Minghao City, then I am the number one genius of Minghao City. Whoever doesn't submit, I'll beat them until they submit!"

At this moment, his blood was boiling.

A heroic spirit was born!

For the first time in his life, he had such an indomitable aura. It was as if some sort of cowardice in his heart had been completely broken.

Master said that I had an unparalleled divine body.

My father is also an invincible expert.

Since that's the case, what am I afraid of? What are the four great young masters of Minghao City? What are the geniuses of the dynasty?

I, Qin Zi, will be that overwhelming prodigy!!

"Boom! !"

At this moment, a powerful pillar of light shot up from his body. Not only that, many halos spread out from his body.

The halos surrounded him, resplendent and holy!

"This is?!"

Qin Chuan's heart was shocked. Could it be that this cheap son had awakened some sort of constitution after drinking his chicken soup[3]?

However...

Even though he was shocked, he didn't show any surprise. Instead, he nodded and showed a hint of relief.

It was as if he had seen through everything.

It was as if his son's divine body awakening was also part of his plan. He had single-handedly caused it.

In this way...

It was as if... even if he were to expose the fact that he had hired a rumour mill at the Rain Pavilion, it wouldn't be a problem anymore.

He had put in so much effort!

At this moment.

The blonde woman in the ring was already prostrating herself in worship.

"This... I've used so many methods and even used the precious holy medicine, but I still couldn't awaken Little Zi's divine body. And this lord only said a few words, and he did it..."

Her breathing was rapid, and her mind was in a mess.

She quickly thought about the reason.

"I understand!!"

"So the most important thing for the divine body to awaken isn't the holy medicine, but to stimulate Little Zi's martial dao belief... that invincible belief!"

"Previously, although Little Zi already had the initial confidence, there was still a trace of timidity in his heart."

"Because he had been looked down upon for a long time, even if he started to rise, deep in his heart, he would still feel that he couldn't compare to those geniuses."

"Especially when he met those geniuses who were much stronger than him or even older than him, he would subconsciously shrink back."

"Ordinary people always like to find various reasons for their timidity. However, the divine body needs to have an indomitable faith!"

"When he stops looking for objective reasons and doesn't shrink back because of the opponent's strength, when he faces any enemy, and he dares to fight... Only then can he have the spirit that the divine body should have."

"Only then... will he be able to awaken..."

Thinking up to this point, she laughed at herself.

All this while, she had been thinking of using all sorts of precious saint herbs or medicinal pills to awaken Qin Zi's divine body.

Who would have thought that she was going in the wrong direction!

However...

That Lord had long seen through everything.

An invincible expert.

As expected, he was so terrifying!

Unknowingly, this mysterious and once very powerful woman had walked further and further down the path of delusion...

...

The sect master of the Dragon Snake Gang was recuperating from his injuries.

He had suffered double injuries.

His son had been killed by Qin Zi. This was a wound in his heart. He had also been injured by Qin Chuan. This was a wound on his body.

He and the father and son of the Qin family were irreconcilable!

However, he did not intend to take revenge.

This was because he knew that his potential had reached its end. The bottleneck was already incomparably firm. It would be very difficult for him to continue breaking through in this lifetime.

And from the situation of the previous fight, Qin Chuan was much stronger than him. Even if he broke through another two or three realms, he was still not a match for him.

Therefore, taking revenge was just serving himself up on a platter.

"Sect master, good news!"

At this moment, the little leader of the Dragon Snake Gang ran in excitedly and said with a smile, "That Qin Zi has been flattered to death!"

"What's the situation?"

"In the past two days, there have been rumors that Qin Zi is the number one genius of Minghao City and that his talent is superior to the four great young masters! Hahaha, people are afraid of fame and pigs are afraid of getting fat.[2] I think this Qin Zi is going to be unlucky, hahaha..."

This little leader laughed out loud. However, he soon realized that the master was not laughing, but was looking at him quietly.

"AH? Master, why aren't you laughing?"

The little leader asked.

"Pa!"

The sect master slapped him on the face and scolded angrily, "Have you been kicked in the head by a donkey? If that Qin Zi was killed by someone... Who do you think they will suspect first?!"

"This!"

The little leader immediately reacted. It seemed that... the Dragon Snake Gang was the most suspicious!

"Damn it, get the carriage ready! I want to leave Minghao City as soon as possible to prevent that fiend from coming over!"

The sect master was a little flustered because he still remembered what Qin Chuan had said to him last time. If there was a next time... Then he would eradicate the root of the problem!

He did not want to be eradicated!

He had just lost a son who had caused trouble. Now that he was in his prime, he still wanted to give birth to another one.

Therefore, he had to run!!

Hence, the members of this sect that was slightly famous in Minghao City disguised themselves and left Minghao city overnight...

No one knew where they went.

A gang of several hundred people completely disappeared overnight. This became an unsolved mystery in Minghao City.
